Wow! Does anyone know what is built on and how it is this fast?


There should be a special version of a Turing award for fun computing projects like this!


Cool, can you share how long it took you to build this?


A bit over 1,200 hours so far... but I only tracked actual coding time, and not time spent answering questions, brainstorming new ideas, meeting with people, casually testing stuff, wrangling images, etc.


> my wife and I can have a baby, because IVF in America is $40k.

Wait to see the cost of a college education...;(


People like this are so toxic that companies must eject them. They have no real added value, they merely harass those that should be helped to grow and learn as they evolve in their positions. Software engineering teams need collaborating peers and mentors not bullies.


What makes you think that a person with a degree in theoretical physics who is making their livelihood writing code is qualified to teach functional programming and more so address the (well justified) peculiarities of FP you are raising here?


Mark, thank you for your generosity with your books.

I wish you could also share with us your process of writing books. You are a prolific writer, how do you do it?


I'd love that too!


This website is a joke, made by a recent graduate (23 year old guy): https://laconicml.com/author/laconicml/

Really dude, you got an undergrad in CS and you will teach us all these topics? I am exhausted by the available curricula that would make me a computer scientist, data scientist, machine learning guru, Python ninja and whatever else. All that by watching videos, attending online programs, mostly made by people who have zero content credibility yet they are able to put together a bootstrap website and search YouTube for videos.

Please make it stop.


Do you have a good JS tutorial for beginners that meets the definitions you are proposing to compare and contrast?


Explain concurrency like I am five and give a concurrency example problem and solution.
